COV LIFE BLOG

I moved to Tampa almost five years ago. I moved here to be a part of Covenant Life Church. I moved here because I wanted to see God do a radical work in this city. I moved here to see God raise up laborers and send them out for his glory to the ends of […]

It was early October 2011 when a newly married couple arrived in a new city. One of us knew a few relocated coworkers, while the other only knew her husband but trustingly followed to this new place. My wife Krystle and I were married on October 1, 2011, and moved to Tampa one week later […]

Remembrance of the wonderful works of the Lord will have this effect on our minds. It will make us consider and acknowledge the divine bounty to us throughout all our lives. Observe what the psalmist says next: “He hath given meat unto them that fear him.” Now, as we recollect that, as the Israelites might […]

When we received our orders to Tampa a little over two years ago, my brother-in-law gave us some sound advice: look for a church that emphasizes community.

My hands were shaking as I texted my husband. I was on the verge of tears and I could hardly even walk, I was so excited. (That’s dramatic, I know, but this ended up being a very decisive moment for us.) What life-altering event happened that August afternoon in 2012? I had stumbled upon the […]

We are strengthened by the word of life, and we need to mature if we are going to keep living in a blameless and God-pleasing way right in the midst of a crooked and depraved generation, when all the currents flowing around us would discourage us from living like that. But the word of life […]

In John 14:21, Jesus says, “Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him.” What a wonderful statement! “I will love you, and manifest myself to you.” That is how […]
